The library is one of many due to close on Friday 30 September after the county council’s cabinet approved the closure plans earlier this month.

The Meeting will allow councillors to challenge the decision of Fulwood Library’s Closure with the Secretary of State for Culture, Karen Bradley, and consider whether to ‘Call In’ the cabinet decision in relation to the Property Strategy.

Jane Porter, local campaigner, said: “I think it should be an interesting meeting”.

Special meetings of the county council’s Scrutiny Committee, such as this one, are called after a minimum of 5 county councillors request it.

The “Call In” was requested by the following County Councillors;

CC Albert Atkinson

CC Susie Charles

CC Gina Dowding

CC Geoff Driver CBE

CC Michael Green

CC Bev Murray

CC Kim Snape

Mary Duckett, local campaigner, said: “The fight is not over but we need more Fulwood residents backing us in any way they can.”
